Phillipians 3:8

I count all things to be loss in view of surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord...and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ.

Everything That I have been though, all that I am dealing with, has one purpose: That I may know the love of God and live in his more-than-adaquate Grace. I was born for an intimate relationship with Him. This is the purpose of my existence. And when I discover that, I experience real contentment.

Today is January 7th, my little brothers birthday. So I'm dedicating this post to him.

HAPPY 22ND BIRTHDAY ERIC!

There we are, so naive and innocent, without a clue of what God had in store for us. We had no idea we would move to New Mexico, live there for 6 years, then move back to Chicago, go through our family's trials, Dad being unemployed, Mom's illness, lung transplant, and recovery. No one knew that they were looking at a future designer and nurse. Especially since all we wanted to be were Power Rangers, and Ninja Turtles. It's so weird ... we were little kids, then we were teenagers (and I thought we were so cool), now we are in our 20's (whoa!). I'd kinda like to stop now... please...no older... I'm good, thanks. I wish! But here we are, on the brink of being full time adults. Look out world! The Henley kids are coming! Oh..yeah...and they've got God on their sides....
